Yogurt Container Re-purpose

Yogurt Container Re-purpose

You can add this to your list of things to do with yogurt containers.

Get two yogurt containers. One must still have a lid that fits it.

Fill one half way or so with water. Fill another about half way with rice and replace the lid. Place the one with rice inside the one with water. Put into the freezer and let freeze.

“Why?” you ask.

Once the water has frozen, run water on the outside, remove the inside yogurt container containing the rice which will pull the ice out with it, remaining attached. Hold the yogurt container with the rice by the top and apply chill to a central location that aches such as a shoulder blade muscle.

“Why would I do that?” you ask.

John has been seeing a therapist for a shoulder injury he acquired while working. One of the things the therapist does is apply ice to a shoulder blade muscle that is refusing to release tension. She uses basically an ice cube on a stick to apply the ice in a circular motion with a bit of pressure on the muscle.

This does two things. The chill relieves the pain and the circular motion massages.
